"Ceiling Painting" was displayed in the entrance area to the main house at Tittenhurst Park whilst John Lennon and Yoko Ono lived there between 1969 and 1971. John Lennon can be see climbing the rungs and taking the magnifying glass to examine the word YES on a canvas suspended from the ceiling; it was this same piece that inspired John Lennon at John Dunbar's Indica Gallery, London in 1966 and to acquaint himself with the artist, Yoko Ono.
